But when daddy went to be with the Lord in 1999, I got called into the house.
I discovered talent that I didn't know I had.
Now I'm no longer on the outside looking in.
I'm on the inside looking out.
Here's my point.
Sometimes thoughts will tell you, you belong on the outside.
You know, that blessed life, that prosperous, abundant life, that's not for you.
That's for those people that are more talented, that have more beauty, that have more than you.
Don't believe those lies.
You didn't get left out.
You weren't shortchanged.
God put greatness in you.
There are gifts and talents you've not yet tapped into.
There are new levels in your future.
Keep being faithful.
Like David, your time is coming.
You're going to be called into the house.
My friend John here on the front row ran camera for us at Lakewood for over 20 years.
He was always faithful, always had a smile, a kind word, somebody we could count on.
I noticed through the years that John moved very slowly.
